SaJt Lake is only one point behind Los Angeles for second place. TiKiay's results re-sults are very likely to put lis in the coveted place, unless all signs fail Beginning Tuesday, San Francisco plays in Salt Lake.

Joe Oedeon and Chuck Ward were temporarily tem-porarily knocked out In the Portland half of the eighth when they collided In pome fast maneuvering at first. Ward hit a fast one to Joe after CarlBch had been ?1ven a life's on Orr's error. He was orced to chase Carisrh back to first to make the putout, and, In making the loss to Brief, collided with Wa rd coming up from first. Both were ahle to continue In the fray after a few applications of cold water to the nape of the neck. Truck Hannah objected so strenuously when Zacher was tagged at the plate In tho fifth that he succeeded in getting himself banished from the lot. Umpire Red Held applying the banish. The decision de-cision was a close one. Zacher being thrown out when Williams bunted to Bates. Byrd Lynn was the unfortunate victim vic-tim of circumstances In the third, when a ball he tried to dodge collided with his hat and rolled fair. He was on his back whon thrown out at first. - Nine strikeouts in five Innings is the record of Lefty Williams for his share of tho day's work. Brief suffered a slight Injury to his already injured leg when he collided with Ward while stealing second In the sixth inning. Whether the world's series game satisfied satis-fied th- hunger of the fans or for some other reason, the usual Saturday afternoon after-noon crowd was not on the Job a t Majestic Ma-jestic park yesterday. The crowd was not only under tho usual Saturday figure, but those present Beemed satisfied to (Continued on Following Page.) I Wild Heaves and Such. ! - (Continued from Preceding Page.) take nothing more than a mild Interest in the proceedings. Bunny Brief executed a nifty one-hand one-hand -atch of Breton'9 high and wide throw in retiring Bates at first In the eighth. Breton was a little late In gelling gel-ling started for the hall and his hurry-up Throw was dei idelv out of the groove ' The hall landed safe at the northwest j corner of Bunny's outstretched anatomv ' 11 was due to no lack of effort on Shlnn's part that the Portlanders were not retired In advance of their one-run threat In the ninth. He went to the bleachers on a foul fly by Hlgglnbothnm 1 and got hlB hands on the ball, but failed 1 to complete the job. The fans gave him a liberal hand for the try. ' Bates had taken about all that wan r'omihg to bim. Including several fouls, when Lefty BUppea the third one over on him in the ninth. Bunny Brief spoiled a perfectly perfoct record for his afternoon at bat 'when he whiffed in the eighth. Prior to that time he had faced Lush four times, connected , thrice, walked once and stole two bases. |
